OTTO LINK Master Link (1930-1935)

The "Master Link" was the first mouthpiece manufactured by Otto Link. The mouthpieces generally only came in smaller tip openings, but had very large chambers. The mouthpieces also had a ridge on the sides and underneath the table for the ligature to slide in, much like Lawton mouthpieces have. The early "Master Links" are fairly good mouthpieces, but for the time they were something completely new, different and inventive.
